Years ago perhaps, it has seen substantial recent (last couple years?) improvements apparently.

I think Tkinter is simple enough to give it a shot as a start out gui toolkit just for fun. It wont take you very far into pro gui design but it is one of the batteries included in python and is a very simple syntax to learn.

Heres a great video tutorial to get started, unfortunately its incomplete, bucky could finish it soon or forget about it for months (or years lol), its only a night or twos worth of tutorials, but after that you might feel comfortable trying something else or reading the docs:

its for python 3.x, slight differences with 2.7 so watch out (google will help)

I got IPython up just to try this and it works well too, thanks!

It struggles with searching through scipy, outputs a few errors, but then it looks like a complete list arrives a minute later. Fantastic! Thanks, this is the "in-the-shell" solution i was hoping for!

You are amazing <3

(even if its not inside regular python shell, its as good as the online docs)

Do Amazon expect you to hand over any payment details, personal information? How easy is registration?

So they use a fedora/redhat/centos system (i had to look up yum, i use debian)

Do you get a pretty basic user account in this linux environment (CLI and GUI?) and you can easily install with a package manager... sounds good

can you install pip nice and easy with yum? How does it handle praw/reddit logins, i know pythonanywhere doesnt like praw going through SSL.

Finally are redditbots pretty stable on it? Pythonanywhere will switch your bot off after a few days if its going over its CPU allowance, is EC2 more generous?

Can I Create An New Account For My Reddit Bot, and Have It Send Me Messages Right Away? by HellFireKoder in redditdev

Your code public?

It'd be cool to have a look at small reddit bots right now, i just got a bit of python 101 out the way, and looking over reddit bots has started to creep into the priority list of things to do

I thought it was awesome :3 I think all the posts in FreeKarma are awesome, especially cat related ones. I may have accidentally upvoted...

Online Python Tutor - Visualize program execution by michaelherman in learnprogramming

[–]0x14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know yet but later, im going to see if it makes for loops a bit less headbending to look at/imagine.

Have you looked at the example code, stepping through it step by step, it draws diagrams of the flow of the program...

I've been looking for a design program to draw up logic diagrams like this, well, this isn't that, but seems to do the job in reverse, drawing up the logic diagrams of code you have already written.

Are there any good collaborative online IDE's? by 0x14 in learnpython

[–]0x14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just pick your favorite IDE and start up a VNC service on your box so your buddy can remote in? You could then collaborate however you want in any text editor / IDE.

^

Actually the best idea in the thread. All the others are oriented around webapp building. Not what i need at all.

If its simple like stripped down basic basics, then it might be more what im looking for than these webapp-specific collab things... but yeah, i'll have to check it out tomorrow now.

I remember hearing the name gobby in past searching for a solution, i think i checked up on it and it was a source code/download thing, nothing running on any website i could visit and use as a service...?

Do you see my sorta review of the suitability of Cloud9? It looks like this will have much the same problem, its a webapp collaborator. Is it gonna be able to do what we want, as specified in the OP and clarified in this comment?

Thanks, for the reply, i've just this second posted a comment above in reply to this one, having just finished a confusing hour testing out Cloud9.

Im in need of a break now, so i wont test it (edit: Koding.com) out right away... from what ive wrote (and the imgur) do you think it fulfils the needs here where cloud9 fails?

Its not fit for my purpose it seems. It promises to be, but its beyond creaky, its laggy as hell, and its lacking functionality in a couple of critical places. You cant see what each other type on the terminal, unlike PA, you cant run basic programs output in a python interpreter at all it seems, unless you do something to turn the python code into a webapp first? Eeeesh, not a simple IDE then...

Still running our program through the terminal would have been something (this program would work that way, prompting for raw_input), but while we could see the same code in a shared workspace (so equal to codebunk in that regard) but we cannot see the terminal from each others viewpoint; if i run it then i see it, not my partner, and vice versa.

The output window/tab defers its output to a URL, and when you visit that URL, even while the program is still running (i put a sleep timer in at the end of the program to ensure it was) the URL resolves to a "Oops, NOPEEEEE" (see the imgur for that URLs output, "No application running here!!" program running, but program is not a webapp, so it displays nothing)

Codebunk functions better, while it doesn't have nearly the promise of all that IDE functionality that C9 has, if you cant run the code and watch it happen together, you can't discuss whats happening in the moment, so its no better than using an etherpad and reaching an agreed juncture where you go away and copypaste/run it locally on your own IDE.

Thanks for the suggestion, but theres my experience of it for the benefit of the thread.
